Why You’ll Love It
An exceptionally early and wonderfully romantic Randall Zadar creation, “Grape Eaters” is a delicate interpretation of an 18th-century pastoral scene after François Boucher. Rendered in a rare porcelain white finish, the sculpted pair reclines in flowing Rococo drapery, capturing the softness and movement associated with antique porcelain figures. Produced in 1995 as #17 of Zadar’s creations, this permanently retired piece belongs to Randall Zadar’s earliest body of work and is among the very few examples created in this elegant 'Porcelain White' finish. Cast using his meticulous lost-wax bronze process, the tiny details remain remarkably refined despite its astonishing scale.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
